MUSIC AND THE DANCE
PROPOSITION TO HOLD HozaRT con-
cRRfs sgMEM0ETHLY.
A Vote OF Members Being IakeR-Ihe
Charity Rall-Richmond Muii-
cal Union.

Judging by the responses received
majority Of members OF the Mozart AS
ISOLATION are in favor of giving fort
nightly instead OF weekly musicales. The
point to be gained if this ew regime Is
adopted will be q superior order OF
musicalcs, for of course il the number
is reduced the association will have more
funds in hands TO make the concerts at
tractiyc.
A great many people think the board
Of governors have preached the cues
tiOn OF this change because it is IN an
impecunious condition. The assocla-
ton is in better state financially
than it was six months ago and IS
steadily improving, and the reduction
Of salaries in the orchestra has also
led to wrong opinions. Up to the time
Of the reduction the orchestra had cost
about $500 a month. This the board
Thought too much for one part OF the
programme, and besides they agreed
that the money could be spent with more
appreciate advantage Ia engaging
specialties.
The question will not be settled until
a majority of the members are heard
from.
